change the face of our planet. It could end hunger, aid developing
nations and improve industry. Recognizing the potential of the invention,
an unscrupulous businessman murders the young genius and his family for the
rights to the device. Set in historic Cedar Key, Florida, the tiny
coastal community forms the perfect back drop to launch this mystery.

artist enclave to rediscover the man he used to be. Twenty years of
police work has left Slade in search of the man he had hoped to become and he
is on an inner journey of discovery. Falling in love for the first time,

businessman; a journey which takes him across the United States. Along
